Sometimes drawing Selkie is a fine balance between "adorable" and "horrifying". Too much realism or detail and she becomes alien and, visually speaking, difficult to relate to. This is why I usually only draw her top row of teeth when speaking. I want her fangs to remain visible on a "day to day" basis so they don't become jarring or unnerving when they DO appear (in the visual language of comics and animation suddenly-appearing fangs tends to signify malicious intent, a trope I try to subvert with Selkie's design); but when both rows of teeth become visible it can create a "baring her fangs" look.

I mention this because I personally find the close up of Selkie's mouth here a bit unnerving. She's a sweet stubborn and smart kid, but she also has a mouth filled with razor sharp fangs. She can't help it but it's unavoidable that, to a human perspective, her mouth is a bit scary if you look too closely.

Actually… This has the possibility of turning into a Teen Wolf style scenario. “You’re a real live MONSTER!? THAT’S AWESOME!!!” I wonder if in junior high or high school Selkie will have the opposite problem that she does now?

Yep, they have to get a taste of what it’s like to be on the other side of the coin. Preferably in front of many witnesses, and the victim’s hand. Funny how feeling weak can give you proper perspective.

My brain was trying to process that “3:” as an emoticon and all I got was a guy with a really big handlebar or fu manchu moustache. That has nothing to do with anything, I know. I just had to add that bit of insanity.

So I am the only one jealous I didn’t get to torment the new kid like Amanda did? Lets face it, given the oppertunity we all would have done something like that. Don’t hate the player, don’t hate the game, admire the play. =)

Aww, and here I was hoping that Amanda had finally decided to be nice. Maybe the sight of those bared fangs will scare some sense into her (although I personally don’t find them disturbing – Selkie is the cutest!).

Sometimes I just want to smack some sense into Amanda. Or stab her with a Mandalorian wind instrument with a sharp, cut off end for combat. Oh god, I just spilled Star Wars nerdyness all over my comment.

Amanda’s expression in the first panel is just awesome. It screams “I am about to do something so very evil and I will enjoy myself immensely”.

Thank you very much to Victoria, Rahna, and everyone for their kind comments on my fan art. First piece of fan art that I had ever made. Selkie touches my heart and moved me to doodle a tribute. Thanks to Dave for posting it.

And to Codydudetm; If “ZA” is a Crook question, “RREH” may be an exclamation? Dunno. Hope Crook didn’t mind that I added to his vocabulary for this piece! ;3

I really love the detail of salive hanging off of some of Selkie’s fangs, it adds to the “monster feeling”. And yet, every monster is someone’s child. I like it. Very well done. And I’m wondering if Hamud didn’t just pee himself. XD
